So, this may sound stupid, but I am so upset right now. One of the sales people I support just bought football playoff tickets for the other two people on the team I work for. Granted, I am not a huge football fan, but the point is he just spent at least $200 on each of my coworkers just for the heck of it. What did I get - nothing. I don't mean to sound petty or anything, but why should I bust my butt to support someone when I don't get anything for it. The other two people do exactly what I do (well, one does, the other is our supervisor). There are only the three of us, so it wasn't like there were a bunch of us left out, just me. And he gave them to my coworkers right in front of me!!


I think what ticks me off more is a bunch of things leading up to this. About 6 months ago, my manager took a trip out to see one of our customers who I work with on a regular basis. It wasn't until right before the trip that I learned that my coworker (that does the same job as me and that was hired after me - I trained him) was asked to go. I was never asked. I have never been on a trip like that. Then, there was this committe set up for process improvement. The only people on it are the managers and guess who? The same guy who went on the trip. I am a kind of quiet shy person, but I am tired of doing the same job without any of the rewards (I get paid less than him too by the way).


I think this ticket thing just really set me off. Maybe it's pregnancy hormones getting to me, I don't know. Am I wrong in feeling this way? If I wasn't pregnant I would probably be looking for another job right now. I doubt I would have any luck, though, right now. I am going to have to stick it out until after the baby is born. I just want to cry! Damn hormones!
